Going to university is a life-changing experience, and we want to ensure parents, carers, and students are fully supported throughout the entire journey.


We understand the crucial role you play in helping your child make important decisions about courses, universities, and student finance. Choosing the right path can feel overwhelming, particularly if your child is the first in the family to attend higher education.

Your Role as a Parent or Guardian

Your support can make all the difference. You might:

  • Help your child research courses and universities.

  • Encourage them to attend open days and outreach events.

  • Support them through the application and student finance process.

  • Provide reassurance and emotional support as they transition into university life.

  • Assist with practical aspects such as accommodation, budgeting, and moving day.
